April Fools!


The kids woke up on April fools day just thinking it was like any other day, but they were wrong! Little did they know that I had planned a full day of pranks. The first ones began at breakfast. (Thanks to my good ol' family Fun magazine, I had a lot of ideas!) I put a few drops of red food coloring in the bottom of their cereal and poured the dry cereal over it. Then when I poured the milk, it turned red! April Fools!

Then I asked them if they'd like some orange juice. I got them both a cup of juice out of the fridge, but the juice wouldn't come out! (it was orange jello made the night before) You can see that Hayden did not like this prank one bit. He was really thirsty! Maya seemed unaffected by the whole thing. You can drink jello, right?

My next prank got a big thumbs up from Hayden. I blew up balloons and instead of tying a knot in them, I closed the ends in the doorway so that when he opened the door they blew all over the place. He thought that was SO funny.

They got gummy worms in their sandwiches and apples, too. Lots of pranks!

I love the jello juice - that is one they'll remember when they are adults I'm sure. I'll have to try that one next year. You are such a cool mama.
